Seeing you all seated, Aldus/Cheep waits a moment more for any to show up. When none are forthcoming, it sights. "Back in my day, there were more folk willing to do up an odd job or two. Course, with the War going on, had a lot of folk that wanted to be in any service that wasn't the killing of folk. Course, adventuring end up killing a bunch too. Times change."
Cheep resettles itself before Aldus continues. "Anyway, I came here because I know Brews can be counted on when a favor be needing. A while back, I be like you, hanging on, waiting for the odd job to come to Brews. Got my start here. I be retired now from that work, mostly be doing crafting and the like. Constructs me specialty. Mostly be telling you this so you know where I be coming from.
"Anyway, I don't get out too much, doing most of me work from home. So its not surprising when I get the occasional visitor wanting something special done---one of those new artifice clocks or a stele from Xen'drik looked at. So it be a bit unusual when I be getting a visit from a Watchman, a thuggish looking one, and the oddest kobold I ever be seeing. Anyway, to make this already long story short, they wanted something I wouldn't give and there was some ruckus to be had. So here I am, locked up in my vault, trapped in my own home with vagrants and blackguards looting the place looking for the Sovereigns know what.
"That be where you folk come in. I need me a rescue, a rescue of me. Think you are all up to it?"
